I don’t respect the attitude of doing whatever you’ve always done, even when working in a wildly different environment.
Imagine how Linux people would react if there were endless blog posts about using VB6 scripts on Linux by running them under WINE because “that’s what feels familiar.”
Sure, for a lark that’s hilarious, but not if you share your work with anyone else for any reason, even open source.
Heh, that would be hilarious. In fact someone should come up with a Linux distribution that uses NTFS, PowerShell, comes with .NET, WINE, and no coreutils and blog about it.
Alternatively, we could ask why the POSIX-sphere produces enough power users impassioned to, interested in and capable of enabling their pet projects on a closed and hostile platform for blog posts like the OP's but the reverse does not.
Parent is obviously choosing the "Veni Vidi Vici" side of the coin. If they can pull it off, why not ? It's their machine after all.
